WEBVTT 00:00.180 --> 00:05.010 In this lesson, we're going to clean up this area of the nose in between the nose in the eye here, 00:05.440 --> 00:07.920 that's kind of stretched out and doesn't have enough geometry here. 00:08.340 --> 00:12.210 So I don't know that I'm going to show you any new tools or techniques. 00:13.140 --> 00:18.240 So if you're not super into modeling, you might just skip this, because I'm going to just kind of 00:18.390 --> 00:20.600 figure this out as I go along and clean this area up. 00:21.420 --> 00:24.090 But if yeah, if you're into this kind of thing, you just want to see me work. 00:25.080 --> 00:26.730 Let's just kind of continue on here. 00:27.030 --> 00:32.910 So the general idea is that, you know, most geometry needs to be evenly spaced. 00:33.150 --> 00:37.800 And if you look around the model, you know, things are within the same ballpark until we get right 00:37.800 --> 00:37.980 here. 00:37.980 --> 00:41.610 And there's this massive gap and it kind of goes back to what I was saying when we hit three on the 00:41.610 --> 00:47.520 keyboard and things start to get stretched here quite a bit and pull more when they're further apart. 00:48.900 --> 00:55.460 So we kind of just for for tidy sake, need to figure out how to clean this area up. 00:55.500 --> 01:02.310 So I'm going to do is actually just delete this, delete these faces, because I didn't delete anything 01:02.310 --> 01:07.440 behind the head and kind of rework this area. 01:08.850 --> 01:13.860 And because we need to have enough geometry here, we're always going to be fighting this. 01:13.860 --> 01:15.690 If we if we don't deal with this now. 01:16.170 --> 01:22.410 So we might as well address this here before we get too much further and before we start to mirror things 01:22.800 --> 01:25.350 near the face over, because we don't want to have this on both sides. 01:25.980 --> 01:26.550 So. 01:30.910 --> 01:33.350 You know, there's a couple different ways to approach this. 01:34.030 --> 01:36.490 I think the star was way too close. 01:36.490 --> 01:42.160 Like you can see we have a lot more edges here than than we do back here. 01:42.160 --> 01:46.210 So let's maybe move the star further back here. 01:47.110 --> 01:54.280 And we might need to create a few more edge loops in here or create another circle type of a deal. 01:55.570 --> 01:59.320 So let's take these edges and. 02:00.680 --> 02:01.700 Go to the edge mode. 02:04.230 --> 02:05.910 And we'll extrude those. 02:08.240 --> 02:16.430 Hope to keep us together and keep in mind, we're probably going to connect those two. 02:18.440 --> 02:23.500 It g to extrude again key pieces together. 02:27.630 --> 02:37.410 And they're these two are going to connect and then looks like we have one more, that's one way to 02:37.410 --> 02:37.990 go here. 02:38.250 --> 02:39.080 Yes, let's do that. 02:39.090 --> 02:43.530 We'll just extrude another time he faces on. 02:44.540 --> 02:45.230 And. 02:48.200 --> 02:56.570 Yeah, so that this is the issue, right, like where we're going from three to one here, this is kind 02:56.570 --> 02:58.700 of bunched down so you can't see it super well. 02:59.330 --> 03:04.190 But we need to figure this out and. 03:06.250 --> 03:14.140 Because it looks like this should flow here, but we have an extra couple of loops here so we can try 03:14.140 --> 03:18.190 to resolve this further up the nose or down the nose. 03:18.190 --> 03:21.360 It depends on really what we want to do. 03:21.370 --> 03:26.670 I think I might go further up just because we don't have a ton of geometry in here. 03:27.260 --> 03:32.130 I think this could stand to get moved over like over here. 03:32.710 --> 03:43.900 So let's first make another edge loop that would probably probably going to reduce at the top of the 03:43.900 --> 03:44.590 head somewhere. 03:45.160 --> 03:47.800 Yeah, let's go ahead and set that up here so we can continue. 03:48.790 --> 03:50.350 Let's make one edge loop. 03:50.350 --> 03:55.270 At least we know we're going to need so we can see that goes all the way around. 03:56.200 --> 03:58.750 So let's deselect the part we want to keep. 03:58.750 --> 04:02.290 I mean, hold down control and drag and click. 04:03.610 --> 04:07.600 And let's just say we're going to resolve this and reduce this line up here somewhere. 04:07.630 --> 04:14.230 I'm going to shift click and go to delete edge because this edge went all the way around up into the 04:14.230 --> 04:14.500 nose. 04:14.500 --> 04:15.010 And we don't want that. 04:15.010 --> 04:16.810 We just want it on the bridge here. 04:18.130 --> 04:20.860 So we'll just have to remember up here, we need to resolve this later. 04:22.900 --> 04:24.550 And you know what? 04:24.550 --> 04:26.230 I think we could probably do this again. 04:27.370 --> 04:29.710 And let's move this edge over. 04:30.610 --> 04:37.900 If I select this one and then double click up here, it'll just select that distance and I'm going to 04:37.900 --> 04:42.490 go to the modeling tool and choose the transform constrain or we could. 04:43.000 --> 04:43.900 Yeah, no, over here. 04:44.470 --> 04:51.640 Transform constraint, do edge slide, use the manipulator and just move that over here. 04:52.720 --> 04:54.700 And the same thing for this one really. 04:56.680 --> 05:05.770 Double click and move this over to make room for another edge, I think we need another edge. 05:07.530 --> 05:08.860 This is such a big area. 05:08.870 --> 05:15.400 Here we go back to component mode, holding down R and go to component so I can scale this wheel and 05:15.460 --> 05:16.060 scale. 05:16.660 --> 05:17.460 OK, that's weird. 05:17.470 --> 05:21.430 Oh, it's trying to go along the edge or something weird. 05:21.950 --> 05:22.810 Turn that off now. 05:22.810 --> 05:23.320 I can do it. 05:24.260 --> 05:24.790 Um. 05:28.570 --> 05:38.190 So I'm just trying to kind of get everything organized to see what we really need to do here. 05:40.830 --> 05:42.200 We may need to add. 05:43.240 --> 05:44.590 Some geometry here. 05:50.450 --> 05:55.670 So, yeah, I'm just pulling this stuff around, seeing what we can get away with and what we don't 05:55.670 --> 05:56.600 need to address. 06:05.360 --> 06:12.140 So it looks like we have one extra edge, and I think it's kind of too close to 06:15.560 --> 06:19.670 make another one, so it's going to pull this one over. 06:24.730 --> 06:26.950 And I think I'm going to do. 06:29.640 --> 06:31.550 I might just delete that one altogether. 06:33.180 --> 06:35.610 Let's see where that one leads if we double click this. 06:36.300 --> 06:37.230 That's that one. 06:37.440 --> 06:39.030 So that's kind of weird. 06:40.050 --> 06:42.000 That's starting on the inside and going around. 06:42.000 --> 06:43.760 But I guess those are getting reduced here. 06:43.770 --> 06:52.260 You can see inside the nose, that's another place we could hide things and geometry terminating and 06:52.260 --> 06:54.060 stuff that we're never going to see. 06:55.530 --> 06:59.430 I mean, that's that's actually a pretty good possibility, but. 07:02.010 --> 07:06.150 Yeah, I don't think we I don't think we need this one, 07:09.150 --> 07:18.360 so I think I'm actually going to do a big no no and just delete this edge here and we're going to have 07:18.360 --> 07:20.270 an end gone back in here. 07:20.780 --> 07:23.820 I'm going to make it be this one. 07:24.870 --> 07:28.140 We could I mean, we could we we could fix this. 07:28.230 --> 07:31.770 Let's just be clean about it and just say do this. 07:31.770 --> 07:32.200 Right. 07:32.700 --> 07:34.110 Same thing we've done everywhere else. 07:35.400 --> 07:36.600 Now it's gone and gone. 07:36.600 --> 07:43.020 But, you know, if you're pressed for time or something, like no one's ever going to look that far 07:43.020 --> 07:44.100 up their nose, hopefully. 07:46.170 --> 07:49.400 So start to merge these down and see kind of where we're at there. 07:50.100 --> 07:56.730 So I'm going to go to the edit mesh merge tool and increased tolerance. 07:58.530 --> 08:04.800 G increased the tolerance and we might need to add geometry here, so because remember, we're going 08:04.800 --> 08:05.880 to have a star somewhere. 08:06.460 --> 08:10.710 We had one down here is right next to the nose, which was no good because in general, you want to 08:10.710 --> 08:13.650 try to put the star where there's not a ton of deformation or things happening. 08:14.580 --> 08:18.710 So I think that's pretty good. 08:18.720 --> 08:26.910 The one thing we could do is put some supporting geometry around the bridge, in the nose, around the 08:26.910 --> 08:30.840 nasal part here and maybe one down here. 08:30.840 --> 08:31.810 And I think that's it. 08:32.010 --> 08:35.100 So let's extrude this edge out. 08:37.620 --> 08:41.280 And we're not talking about keeping places together because it's a single face. 08:42.900 --> 08:52.080 Let's just put this over here and it again, extrude that one out over here, rotate that kind of down 08:52.560 --> 08:53.460 in the ballpark. 08:55.320 --> 09:05.970 Go now, let's just go back to merge, and I'm going to tear this off so we can keep this up, merge 09:07.290 --> 09:08.250 that's merged. 09:09.560 --> 09:10.500 This has merged. 09:12.330 --> 09:13.230 And this. 09:15.930 --> 09:19.020 Whatever it is that we know, the tolerance is not far enough. 09:19.650 --> 09:22.980 Well, maybe not merge tolerance. 09:24.480 --> 09:31.320 Oh, I guess these two aren't going to go first, maybe merge now. 09:31.320 --> 09:32.280 Let's merge these. 09:34.480 --> 09:35.830 Yep, that was it. 09:37.540 --> 09:46.130 OK, now the issue is we have two pieces of geometry going into one area. 09:47.110 --> 09:50.470 You can see we have three edges here and two over here. 09:53.930 --> 09:56.600 We could maybe add an edge loop. 09:57.650 --> 09:59.840 Let's see what this looks like over here. 10:01.110 --> 10:02.780 Give me an edge loop here. 10:04.720 --> 10:06.770 I don't really know how much that's really helping us. 10:07.860 --> 10:09.580 I think we could probably just get rid of this one. 10:12.180 --> 10:13.080 Cleavage. 10:15.460 --> 10:17.020 Slide this one down. 10:22.260 --> 10:29.670 Yeah, I mean, I think that's good and let's just bring these over. 10:34.380 --> 10:35.550 So we can merge them. 10:37.330 --> 10:37.840 Town. 10:48.530 --> 10:52.190 And I think we will need to add some geometry, um. 10:57.900 --> 11:02.700 And you just drag selecting those to make sure they're merged, 11:05.640 --> 11:07.940 this distance is kind of far apart. 11:10.330 --> 11:16.360 So I think I'm going to add what the heck, let's just add some geometry here. 11:18.580 --> 11:20.200 See where it goes all the way around. 11:22.240 --> 11:22.980 Is that useful? 11:22.990 --> 11:24.880 Yeah, like look how big of a space that is. 11:24.880 --> 11:28.890 We can move those over, but maybe that was the issue. 11:30.390 --> 11:31.550 Let's leave it for now. 11:31.560 --> 11:37.860 We can delete it here later or reduce it down, but I think we need it for this kind of cheek area and 11:37.860 --> 11:42.630 the last thing I'm going to do is kind of pull this stuff around. 11:42.630 --> 11:47.700 I think it said it is kind of what's giving this the duckbill look from this view. 11:49.740 --> 11:57.990 Let's evaluate this so like like a duckbill, I think it's the fact that it swoops up like this and 11:57.990 --> 12:01.200 it should kind of be the opposite, it should be curving down. 12:02.730 --> 12:05.130 So let's ignore the reference. 12:07.700 --> 12:14.670 And kind of remodel this to not be a duckbill, let's move this down. 12:14.720 --> 12:17.480 So this is kind of like more in line. 12:22.550 --> 12:30.530 With me, I do this and this controversy, I'm going to self select this stuff with B B on be a little 12:30.530 --> 12:33.260 mouse drag, pull this out. 12:35.280 --> 12:40.290 I think in general, just as a skeleton, you know, this is a cartoon like the nose was way too big 12:40.290 --> 12:42.390 in profile, right? 12:42.390 --> 12:48.870 Like like the bone, an actual skull is like much further up on there's cartilage that finishes out 12:48.870 --> 12:50.210 the rest of the thing. 12:50.220 --> 12:51.630 I think that's what was throwing me off. 12:52.290 --> 12:55.670 So let's just clean this up and then I think we'll be good. 12:56.550 --> 13:06.930 So I'm just going to kind of round this off and I might even do a quick pass with the relax brush. 13:07.560 --> 13:12.090 And yeah, I want to see how this is like a dividend. 13:12.450 --> 13:13.980 I want all this stuff to be the opposite. 13:13.980 --> 13:21.760 I want it to be kind of be bulging out down into the where the nose terminates to give all the stuff 13:21.760 --> 13:22.380 of volume. 13:22.380 --> 13:27.510 Here you'll hear the word volume a lot and modeling once you get into it. 13:27.960 --> 13:38.490 That's a big concept and a big deal trying to maintain volume and describe describe a volume accurately. 13:40.560 --> 13:41.130 Um. 13:43.480 --> 13:48.530 It's a big deal, so, OK, I think I lied. 13:48.550 --> 13:50.550 There's one more thing I'm going to do as well. 13:52.580 --> 13:59.640 Is not going to go that far with it is a mess this more later. 14:01.010 --> 14:01.250 Yeah. 14:01.260 --> 14:06.890 See how I mean the stuff is too far apart, maybe want us here. 14:10.650 --> 14:17.370 You just, yeah, something like that, and I'll smooth this out to get rid of that divot here, but 14:17.370 --> 14:21.600 in general, that's kind of yeah, see, like round it out doesn't look like a duckbill now. 14:21.600 --> 14:22.730 Kind of more looks like a skull. 14:22.740 --> 14:25.710 I think that's just my. 14:26.910 --> 14:29.880 Interpretation and. 14:31.310 --> 14:37.940 Yeah, so the one thing I lied about is I think I'm going to put more loops here can help support this 14:37.940 --> 14:42.590 edge and I think we have room for it and do the same on the inside here. 14:45.180 --> 14:51.330 What I'm looking at basically is, you know, we have no egg loops from here to all the way back and 14:51.330 --> 14:53.340 we really want to support this front edge. 14:54.950 --> 15:02.630 So if we, like, selected this, these need to then be pulled up. 15:04.940 --> 15:05.970 Slide this up. 15:16.130 --> 15:16.490 Cool. 15:16.880 --> 15:25.670 Yeah, I think that's working a lot better, and if you know, this one could maybe anyway, that's 15:25.670 --> 15:26.360 the general idea. 15:27.530 --> 15:27.940 Cool. 15:27.950 --> 15:32.390 So I think we've done a pretty good job modeling the AI, modeling the knows, and we're not going to 15:32.390 --> 15:34.340 do a jaw and mouth and all that stuff in this. 15:34.340 --> 15:36.490 But the concept is the same, right? 15:36.500 --> 15:43.190 Like you could kind of delete this bottom half and then make a jaw here, or you could did what we did 15:43.190 --> 15:50.300 for the AI and just do it horizontally and do loops here, you know, go around and around and it'll 15:50.570 --> 15:56.150 be a circular thing and then end them like we ended this corner here, like you'd, you know, make 15:56.150 --> 16:01.820 a circle here and then pull them to this corner or whatever corner, however you want them to go out 16:01.820 --> 16:04.580 and make a mouth, but. 16:06.960 --> 16:10.650 Yeah, I'm gonna hit this with the relax brush and kind of even the stuff out, especially the stuff 16:10.650 --> 16:13.780 back here, needs to get relaxed a little bit. 16:14.460 --> 16:16.740 It's too close together, not even so. 16:16.740 --> 16:19.290 I'm going to hit that and then I will see the next lesson. 16:19.440 --> 16:20.100 Thanks for watching.
